BANGOR, Maine — Husson University chalked up a first in its history Saturday, when it recognized four students as valedictorians during its 118th annual commencement exercises Saturday at the Cross Insurance Center.
All four valedictorians — three of whom are from Maine — completed their degrees with a perfect 4.0 grade point average, Husson spokesman Eric Gordon said in a news release.
They are: Marcus Campito of Menands, New York, who earned a bachelor’s in communications technology with a concentration in audio engineering; Miranda Charloux of Hermon and Dylan Wetmore of Madawaska, each of whom received a bachelor’s in accounting and a master of business administration; and Nicole Sparlin of Milford, who earned a bachelor’s in entertainment production.
Abby Logan Stevens of Fort Kent was the Class of 2017’s salutatorian. She earned a bachelor’s in healthcare studies while maintaining a grade point average of 3.982.
In all, Husson awarded 809 degrees from its Business, College of Health and Education, College of Science and Humanities, New England School of Communications and School of Pharmacy programs on Saturday. Of those, 26 were associate of science degrees, 510 were bachelor of science degrees, 185 were master’s degrees and another 88 were doctoral degrees.
The university also awarded honorary doctoral degrees to three business leaders — including Bangor native Galen Cole — who have distinguished themselves in the manufacturing, transportation and communications industries. All of their companies were founded as family-owned businesses.
